Über diesen Titel

Brought to you by Penguin.

What would a fair and equal society actually look like? The world-renowned economist and bestselling author Yanis Varoufakis presents his radical and subversive answer.

Imagine it is 2025. Years earlier, in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008, a global hi-tech uprising has birthed a post-capitalist world in which work, money, land, digital networks and politics have been truly democratised.

In a thought-experiment of startling originality, world-famous economist Yanis Varoufakis offers a glimpse of this alternative reality. Through the eyes of three characters - a libertarian ex-banker, a Marxist-feminist and a maverick technologist - we see the genesis of a world without commercial banks or stock markets, where companies are owned equally by all staff, basic income is guaranteed, global imbalances and climate change cancel each other out, and housing is socialised.

Is a liberal socialism feasible? Can prosperity grow without costing the Earth? Are we able to build the good society, despite our flaws?

As radical in its form as in its vision, Another Now blends Platonic dialogue with speculative fiction to show that there is an alternative to capitalism, while also confronting us with the greatest question: how far are we willing to go to bring it about?

Kritikerstimmen

Combining a provocative thought-experiment with a deeply original sci-fi narrative, this book is both visionary in its search for new possibilities and realistic in its embrace of the complexities of our human nature (Alfonso Cuarón, Oscar-winning Director of Roma and Gravity)
A landmark work ... A vision of a new society with new ways of thinking is possibly the most important thing an artist can offer at the moment (Brian Eno)
I am enjoying Yanis Varoufakis's Another Now. The way we live is not inevitable (Jeanette Winterson)
I could not recommend this more. If you're looking for a sense of optimism, a sense of political possibility, this book is very important (Owen Jones)
From @yanisvaroufakis' sf novel ANOTHER NOW, the absolute best description of the scam of #InvestmentBanking I've ever read
There is something exciting, even invigorating, about envisioning this world alongside Varoufakis ... one finishes Another Now buzzing with a sense of possibility
Another Now is structurally, ideologically and linguistically an extraordinary work (Zoe Williams)
I've absolutely loved reading [Another Now] ... the second I started reading it, it surprised and intrigued me (Matthew Taylor, RSA)
Another Now is not only a marvellously good read - it is a notable addition to the literature of social change
The reason Varoufakis seems to have captured the imaginations of so many is that his words about the European crisis speak universal truths about democracy, capitalism and social policy

It is a very interesting book and it helps me to understand the vision, which the author has in mind.

I enjoyed it.

Full disclosure: I couldn't finish this audiobook. It's pretty terrible.

I've listened to several interviews and conferences with Varoufakis, and I like how he expresses his ideas with passion and using plain language. I admire him, even when I don't entirely agree with him.

But this book has nothing of Varoufakis' fresh and precise prose. The writer uses a story to discuss an alternative social and economic system to neoliberalism, but the story fails to engage the reader and fails in its pedagogical goals. Slow, boring, and artificial in many parts and dialogues. Instead of expressing his ideas in simple terms, Varoufakis confuses the reader.

This could have been an excellent non-fiction book but it ended up being a terrible fiction book.

This shouldn't be a fiction book
